Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
500 ml whole milk
4 large eggs
500 ml whole milk
4 large eggs
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and whole milk can be found in the dairy or baking aisle of any standard local grocery store. For the eggs, look for fresh large eggs in the refrigerated section of your neighborhood market or local shop. All these staples are widely available across Belizean grocery retailers.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk and milk in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- Gradually add the egg yolks one by one, continuing to whisk until you have a light, uniform cream
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the simmering milk in the saucepan
- Maintain a low heat and let it cook slowly
- Once the base has set and is cooked through, use a slotted spoon to carefully cut the curdled mass into rustic pieces
- Flip the pieces gently so they cook evenly throughout
- Remove from heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl
- Allow it to cool completely, then refrigerate before serving
Observations
This classic sweet perfectly balances the richness of condensed milk with the lightness of eggs. It creates a comforting delicacy that is even more delightful when served chilled straight from the fridge.
